I Spent A Year Working With Nature To Create This Art Series Honouring Her

Throughout 2017, I spent the first 2 weeks of every month walking in the fields and woodlands near my home, collecting images of whatever crossed my path, and putting together these 12 digital collages reflecting the change of the seasons.

The central designs are stylized Arabic words describing principles for being in a more respectful relationship with Nature. It was a year of watching continual, wondrous change that made me fall even more in love with the wilderness. (No critters were removed from their home in the process!)

I'm a London-based artist transplanted from Beirut. I work with words, deriving patterns from the Kufic script to evoke universal truths. Papercutting is a favourite technique and I prepare my own natural pigments and binders. I also have a background in graphic design, illustration, comics and games. Nature, birds, and foraging (both for food and for art materials) are something of an obsession.
